Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip 15

16 Instrument Handling Using Fixation Pins General Information The placement of a fixation pin in bone structures is a standard minimally-invasive and low-risk surgical procedure that is required in order to provide a stable basis for attaching reference arrays and performing navigation. However, as an incision is required, please read the following information carefully before continuing. Risks Because placement of a fixation pin requires an incision, one or more of the following complications may occur: infection, local pain, bleeding, lesion of blood vessels or nerves, bone fracture or thrombosis. Placement of a fixation pin in the acetabulum may also cause lesions of the viscera. Precautions In some cases, fixation pins may be placed using an automatic drill, however, use only the lowest drilling speed to maintain maximum control over the drilling depth. Use only a threaded fixation pin with the specified diameter. Using a fixation pin with the incorrect diameter could result in unstable attachment. To ensure stable attachment, the fixation pin should be positioned bicortically where possible. 16 Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip

21 GENERAL INSTRUMENTATION 3 GENERAL INSTRUMENTATION 3.1 Disposable Reflective Marker Spheres Overview General Information Figure 1 Product Pieces Article No. Available from Disposable Reflective Marker Spheres 90 (30 x 3) Brainlab and NDI 270 (90 x 3) Disposable Reflective Marker Spheres are attached to reference arrays and instruments, thus enabling the system to detect the position of the patient and instruments in the surgical field. Brainlab navigation systems can only be used with the above marker spheres. The use of other marker spheres could affect navigation accuracy, posing a risk to the patient. When to Attach Marker Spheres Attach marker spheres to instruments and arrays before calibration or use in surgery. Ensuring Sterility Marker spheres are delivered sterile. They cannot be resterilized and must be disposed of after use. Do not resterilize disposable reflective marker spheres as this reduces their accuracy, posing a risk to the patient. The reflective marker spheres are single use only. Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip 21

22 Disposable Reflective Marker Spheres Using Marker Spheres Ensuring Navigation Accuracy Navigation accuracy critically depends on the condition of the marker spheres used. Verify prior to use that the reflective surface of all marker spheres is in good condition, and not peeling. Only use clean and dry marker spheres. Wet or soiled marker spheres must either be cleaned and dried before further use, or replaced. Do not use defective or deformed marker spheres as this negatively affects navigation, potentially harming the patient. Set up the OR prior to surgery to ensure the camera has an unobstructed view of all marker spheres on the instrument adapters and reference arrays. Do not mask or cover any marker spheres, otherwise navigation is not possible or may be inaccurate. How to Attach Marker Spheres Step Figure 2 Tightly screw marker sphere by hand onto each attachment pin of the instrument. Ensuring Secure Attachment Ensure that marker spheres can be screwed onto the pin until there is no gap between the sphere and the base of the pin. Do not use a marker sphere if it is not securely attached in this position. If excessive force is needed to screw a marker sphere onto its pin, dispose of the marker sphere and use a new one. If you use marker spheres on, or in the vicinity of, oscillating or vibrating instruments, check the marker spheres at regular intervals to ensure that they remain securely attached. 22 Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip

23 GENERAL INSTRUMENTATION Cleaning Marker Spheres Only use a soft cloth moistened with sterile water to clean the surface of soiled marker spheres. Ensure that the cleaned marker sphere is absolutely dry before use. If you clean or replace a marker sphere on an instrument or reference array, verify navigation accuracy before continuing.

47 REFERENCE ARRAYS, X-PRESS 6.2 Bone Fixators, X-Press Overview General Information Bone fixators provide the interface between X-Press reference arrays and bone. They are affixed to bone via Schanz screws. The Bone Fixator 1-Pin or 2-Pin, Flip-Flop, X-Press must be used with an X-Press reference array. Place bone fixators so that the alignment of the reference array will not hinder the use of any other instrumentation, such as attachment of a cutting block and its adapter. Always take the size of the implant components into account when placing the Schanz screw of the reference array. If there is a collision during implantation, the arrays have to be removed. Always leave sufficient space to enable incision, implant positioning and cup reaming or drilling without moving the reference arrays.

48 Bone Fixators, X-Press Using Schanz Screws with Bone Fixators Before Using Read the section referring to the use of fixation pins on page 16. Rotation of Bone Fixators on Schanz Screws 1 2 Figure 20 No. Bone Fixator Rotation possible? 1 1-Pin, X-Press Yes, before fixation 2 2-Pin, Flip-Flop, X-Press No Only attach Schanz screws to bone structures, never to tissue or parts of the nervous system. The Bone Fixator 2-Pin, Flip-Flop, X-Press does not support rotation around the Schanz screw. Therefore, consider the orientation of the bone fixator and reference array prior to inserting the Schanz screws into the bone, to ensure marker spheres are visible to the camera. Because the Bone Fixator 1-Pin, X-Press can be rotated around the Schanz screw axis, place the spike tube directly on the surface of the bone without penetrating soft tissue. Consider this when making the incision, prior to Schanz screw fixation. Required Schanz Screw Size Bone Fixator Required Schanz screw diameter and Article Number 1-Pin, X-Press 5 mm (54902 / / 54909) 2-Pin, Flip-Flop, X-Press 3 mm (54900) 3.2 mm (54922) - Pin driver Adapter for AO coupling (54932) 4 mm (54901 / 54908) A combination using these screw types is also possible. Only use bone fixators with threaded Schanz screws with the diameters specified above. The length of the thread must allow bicortical fixation. 48 Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip

49 REFERENCE ARRAYS, X-PRESS Unicortical fixation, or using Schanz screws thinner than specified, may result in unstable attachment or cause the Schanz screw to be inadvertently pulled from the bone when the bone fixator is tightened. Do not use Schanz screws longer or thinner than specified, as they may bend or warp, leading to inaccurate navigation and potential injury to the patient. Avoid multiple drilling attempts when placing Schanz screws, this weakens the bone and may increase the risk of post-operative stress fracture. Stop drilling the Schanz screw when the opposite cortical bone is reached. Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip 49

50 Bone Fixators, X-Press Using the Bone Fixator 1-Pin, X-Press Components The Bone Fixator 1-Pin, X-Press comes in three sizes: S (52421), M (52422), and L (52423).

51 REFERENCE ARRAYS, X-PRESS How to Assemble the Bone Fixator Bone fixators should only be disassembled for cleaning. Reassemble them for sterilization and store them assembled in their sterilization tray Figure 22 Steps 1. Screw the fixation screw 2 into the inlay Screw the traction nut 3 onto the inlay Screw 1,2 and 3 into the spike tube 4. NOTE: Each part is engraved with a part number for easy identification. How to Attach the Bone Fixator Figure 23 Steps 1. Slide assembled bone fixator over Schanz screw 6. Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip 51

52 Bone Fixators, X-Press Steps 2. Attach reference array to the bone fixator. Ensure that there is no space between traction nut 3 and the inlay. Ensure that the necessary reference array orientation is possible from the bone fixator s current position. 3. Secure bone fixator by tightening fixation screw 2 with the wrench. 4. Tighten traction nut 3 with the wrench. Safe Attachment If you make a small incision in the bone for attachment of the fixator, place the Schanz screw into the incision first. You can then slide the bone fixator over the Schanz screw down onto the surface of the bone. This prevents the spike tube from causing unnecessary abrasion of surrounding soft tissue. Securing the 1-Pin Bone Fixator Before tightening the Bone Fixator 1-Pin, X-Press to the Schanz screw, attach the Reference Array, X-Press and adjust it to ensure the camera has full view of the reference array. Never unscrew the Schanz screw if the Bone Fixator 1-Pin, X-Press is still attached, as this will cause extreme abrasion of the corticalis. Only consider doing so if the device cannot be removed using the standard procedure. Ensure that all screw connections are securely tightened before beginning patient registration. Any movement of the bone fixator during or after patient registration will result in inaccurate navigation. 52 Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip

53 REFERENCE ARRAYS, X-PRESS Bone Fixator 2-Pin, Flip-Flop, X-Press (52429) General Information The Bone Fixator 2-Pin, Flip-Flop, X-Press has: A wedge-shaped clamping device that allows you to secure it tightly to two Schanz screws inserted in the bone A double-sided interface plate for attachment of an X-Press Reference Array Components Figure 24 No Component Fix knob Holes for attachment to Schanz screws Interface plate Schanz Screw Placement Do not use the interface plate 3 on the bone fixator as a template for Schanz screw placement. Otherwise wear will lead to inaccurate navigation, resulting in patient injury. Make sure to place the Schanz screws the correct distance apart when using the Bone Fixator 2-Pin, Flip-Flop, X-Press. You can use the holes of the bone fixator to estimate the correct placement. If the Schanz screws are too close together or too far apart, this can cause the screws to stretch during attachment of the fixator, irreparably damaging them. Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip 53

54 Bone Fixators, X-Press Attaching the Bone Fixator 2-Pin, Flip-Flop, X-Press How to Attach the Bone Fixator 1 2 Figure 25 Steps Slide the assembled fixator over the Schanz screws 1. NOTE: If necessary, the fixator can be flipped over, as the reference interface can be used on both sides. Verify that the necessary reference array orientation is possible with the bone fixator in its current position. 3. Tighten the fix knob 2 by hand. The Bone Fixator 2-Pin, Flip-Flop, X-Press can be sufficiently tightened by hand. To avoid damaging the Schanz screws, make sure that the fix knob is open when drilling the Schanz screws directly through the respective holes of the Bone Fixator 2-Pin, Flip- Flop, X-Press. Safe Attachment The Bone Fixator 2-Pin, Flip-Flop, X-Press should be attached to Schanz screws affixed to bony structures covered with thin tissue. Use only Schanz screws from Brainlab. If the screws are too short, the overlying tissue may be too thick to allow stable fixation. Do not attach the Bone Fixator 2-Pin, Flip-Flop, X-Press to bone areas covered by strong muscle. Avoid piercing muscle tissue when attaching the bone fixator. Extensive muscle movement may cause the pin to bend. This can irreparably damage the Schanz screw and reduce navigation accuracy. 54 Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip

55 REFERENCE ARRAYS, X-PRESS Securing the 2-Pin Bone Fixator Attach Bone Fixator 2-Pin, Flip-Flop, X-Press as close as possible to the bone or tissue surface for optimum stability. Tightly fasten fix knob before patient registration. When using Schanz screws with a special quick coupling interface e.g., AO quick coupling, do not use the drill template as the screw end is bigger than the drill template holes, making it impossible to remove the drill template after drilling. To achieve a stable connection and to avoid damage to the bone fixator, only attach it to parts of Schanz screws that have a circular cross section. Safe Removal If the bone fixator cannot be lifted off of the Schanz screws for any reason, the screws can be cut below the fixator and unscrewed separately. Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip 55

59 REFERENCE ARRAYS, X-PRESS bone. Secure fixation of the bone fixator to the bone is critical to ensure accurate navigation. During Surgery When using a reference array with the Array Extension, avoid heavy impacts to the patient or to the navigated bone as this may cause unintended bending of the array. Ideally, you should remove the reference array using the quick fastener mechanism (see page 60) for any steps that require impact to the patient or bone. The reference array can be reattached without losing registration information. Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip 59

60 Reference Arrays, X-Press Attaching and Detaching the Reference Array How to Attach a Reference Array to a Bone Fixator Figure 30 Steps 1. Pinch the sides of quick fastener clamp 1 to open clamp jaws Insert stem pins of the quick fastener into corresponding holes on the interface plate of the bone fixator (arrow). Release quick fastener clamp and ensure that fixation hooks 2 are seated securely in corresponding notches 3 on the interface plate. If you cannot insert the pins of the array completely into the interface plate, contact Brainlab immediately for advice on how to proceed. Using damaged equipment could severely injure the patient. After Attachment Do not apply any force or torque to the bone fixators or reference arrays once they have been attached to the patient. Detaching the Reference Array To detach the array, pinch open the clamp jaws and lift the array straight up out of the interface plate. When removing the reference array during surgery, only use the quick fastener. Do not loosen the screw nut on the bone fixator. Handle the Reference Array, X-Press with extreme care if it is detached for any reason during surgery. Damage to the marker sphere pins could lead to inaccurate navigation and patient injury. 60 Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip

61 REFERENCE ARRAYS, X-PRESS Reference arrays can be removed during sawing, minimizing movement risk. Applying excess force on the screw (e.g., using pliers) could cause it to break. Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip 61

62 Reference Arrays, X-Press Preparation for Registration Optimizing Array Visibility The system recognizes a reference array by the geometrical arrangement of its marker spheres. The angle for best detection of the array is perpendicular to the plane through the centers of all marker spheres in the array. Take this into account when attaching a reference array to the patient or adjusting its angle to the camera for use. Figure 31 The camera s ability to recognize an array is highest when the plane through the marker spheres on the array is perpendicular to the viewing direction of the camera. How to Adjust Array Orientation Use the adjustment joint of the Reference Array, X-Press to orient array so that the camera has the best view of the array for tracking purposes. 2 1 Figure 32 Steps 1. Loosen quick fastener clamp screw Adjust reference array pitch by lifting or lowering array around quick fastener clamp joint. 3. Adjust reference array side-to-side, tilt by rotating it around its shaft. 4. Tighten quick fastener clamp screw by hand. Make sure that the joint teeth are positioned within the grooves. The adjustable joint can be sufficiently secured by tightening the locking screw by hand. Do not use tools, as this may damage the components. 62 Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip

63 REFERENCE ARRAYS, X-PRESS Avoiding Teeth-on-Teeth Alignment To ensure a secure connection, make sure that the teeth on the adjustable joints of the reference array are in the corresponding grooves, not on other teeth. Figure 33 Avoiding Unstable Joint Alignment An audible click indicates that the second joint is in the correct stable position 1. Do not position or tighten the second joint in an unstable position Figure 34 Before Registration Attach marker spheres to reference array. For further information, see page 22 Check regularly that marker spheres remain tightly attached to reference array. Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip 63

64 Reference Arrays, X-Press Tighten screws of the adjustable joints before patient registration. Movement of the Reference Array, X-Press during or after patient registration will result in inaccurate navigation. Before registration, check that the range of motion is sufficient and the bone fixator does not encounter any heavy tissue. If tissue collision is likely to occur, enlarge the incision to reduce tension on the bone fixator. Failure to do so may bend or loosen the bone fixator, causing navigation to be inaccurate. 64 Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip

67 PINLESS FEMUR REFERENCE ARRAY How to Attach the Pinless Femur Reference Array 1 Figure 37 Steps Create a sterile environment on the patients pelvis area and on the femur on the treatment side. Place the base plate onto the distal femur on the treatment side to enable the reference array to be attached as distally as possible. 3. Use the sterile self-adhesive drape 1 to fix the base plate to the femur. 4. Wrap the drape around the leg until the base plate is securely fixed to the femur. 5. Puncture the drape with the pointed tip of the fixation screw and secure the array with the screw. NOTE: Puncture the drape near the threading of the base plate. Because the base plate is sterile, sterility is not influenced. Use of Self-Adhesive Drape The base plate is initially fixed to the patient with strips of adhesive tape. For final fixation, the leg drape can be pulled over the base plate. The self-adhesive drape is not intended to create a sterile environment, but to affix the base plate to the femur of the patient. Ensuring the Reference Array Attachment The base plate must be securely fixed to the patient to prevent it from tilting. Tilting could cause inaccurate navigation. Avoid bedsores near the area where the device is attached to the patient's femur by not tightening the drape too tightly. Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip 67

89 SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS Steps Prior to Impaction Before Impaction The order of your next steps depends on the type of implant you are using. Options If you do not need to be able to turn the implant for alignment, your next steps are: Lock the implant down onto the impactor Attach the StarLock Instrument Adapter to the impactor Introduce the implant into the patient Perform impaction If you are using an implant with screw holes, and will need to be able to turn the implant to align it, your next steps are: Attach the StarLock Instrument Adapter to the impactor Introduce the implant into the patient and align the screw holes as needed by turning the blue knob clockwise Lock the implant down onto the impactor Perform impaction If you encounter any difficulties screwing the implant onto the impactor, continue the procedure using your standard impactor (non-navigation), and inform Brainlab immediately. Locking the Implant onto the Impactor Locking the implant down onto the impactor takes the pressure off the implant threads so that they are not stripped during impaction. Be sure to lock the implant to the impactor prior to impaction. If you fail to do so, the force of impaction may destroy the threads of the impactor or the implant, making it difficult or even impossible to remove the implant from the impactor. Step To lock the implant down onto the impactor, press the driveshaft firmly toward the impactor body until you can no longer rotate the implant by turning the blue knob. Once the implant is locked, you can perform impaction. Using the StarLock Instrument Adapter To enable computer-aided tracking of the impactor during surgery, you must attach the StarLock Instrument Adapter (see page 70). All reflective marker spheres on the StarLock Instrument Adapter must be visible to the camera while the instrument is being navigated. Before beginning navigation, make sure that the StarLock Instrument Adapter is correctly attached to the impactor and that the reflective marker spheres can be detected by both camera lenses.

103 SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS 9.5 Drill Guide (41839) Overview Use The Drill Guide is used for navigating drill bits and K-wires. Basic Components No. Component Comment Figure Drill guide tube Precalibrated tracking array Available in various diameters The diameter is engraved on the outer surface Enables instrument tracking 3 Fixation nut Secures the drill guide handle to the tracking array 4 Drill guide handle Can be rotated so that surgery is not obstructed and the tracking array remains visible to the camera throughout use. Drill Guide Tube Measurements Article Number 2.5 x 45 mm x 45 mm x 45 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm x 180 mm x 150 mm Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip 103

104 Drill Guide (41839) Assembling the Drill Guide Before You Begin Use the appropriate tube for the intended application. For example, use a 3.0 mm tube for navigating 3 mm K-wires and a 3.2 mm tube for 3.2 mm drill bits. The diameter of the drill guide tube must match that of the drill bit or K-wire to be used. Otherwise navigation could be inaccurate, and the patient could be endangered. How to Assemble Figure 60 Steps 1. Insert tube 1 through the base of the tracking array without canting Screw the tube counterclockwise to tighten it. 3. Adjust handle to the most suitable angle, ensuring that the teeth of the handle interface lock correctly into place Secure handle using fixation nut Tightly screw reflective marker spheres by hand onto attachment pins of the tracking array. Precautions Tighten the tube securely, and do not, under any circumstances, loosen it during use. This would result in navigational inaccuracies. Once the handle has been adjusted to the required position, properly secure the fixation nut. 104 Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip

105 SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS Navigation Drill Bits and K-wires The Drill Guide should only be used with drill bits and K-wires specified by Brainlab. Brainlab does not assume liability if other drill bits or K-wires are used. Ensure that the drill bits or K-wires are not bent. How to Navigate the Drill Guide Steps 1. Match Drill Guide angle and position to the planned trajectory shown on the screen. 2. Select a drill bit or K-wire with the same diameter as that of the tube selected. 3. To navigate a drill bit or K-wire of a different diameter, exchange the drill guide tube accordingly before continuing. To ensure accurate navigation of the planned axis, place the spikes of the drill guide tube directly on the bone surface. Do not change the orientation of the Drill Guide while drilling. This could cause the drill bit to fracture and break off in the bone. In the event of accuracy deviations with the navigated drill bit or drill guide tube, do not use the device. Validate it again or contact Brainlab for advice on how to proceed. Instrument User Guide Rev. 1.1 Hip 105
